This half term our topic is Moon Zoom.

CRASH! What’s that in the playground? Let’s go outside and take a look! Stand back everyone – it looks like a UFO has crashed-landed!

Let’s go and find out who might have landed by exploring the craft and investigating scattered scientific specimens. Depending who it is, we may need to create a ‘Welcome to Earth’ box for an alien explorer; we can’t have him feeling out of sorts. What could you put in it to help explain what life is like on our planet?

Would you like to be an astronaut? You’ll need a pretty sturdy spacecraft if you do! Start of by making a small air-propelled rocket…. WHOOSH! How far can you make it travel?

If we’re learning about space, then we really need to know all the names of the planets; there’s Mercury, Neptune, Mars… and, do you know any others? Your teacher might have forgotten the rest so be prepared to help!

Then, an alien is found… can you help get him home? It’s got the experts in a right kerfuffle. Professor Pong doesn’t know what to do!

Are you ready for take-off Year 1? Hold tight… 5 4 3 2 1… lift off!

Please see below for home learning ideas. We would like you to choose one activity from the sheet and bring the work into school by the end of term.

What a fun start to the new term Year 1 have had. It’s lovely to be back in the classroom.

It started off when we found an alien spaceship had crashed in our playground! We investigated what might of happened and asked questions to find out more information. We then created posters to let everyone know and to see if they knew where the alien was?
